Grant made our engagement truly special and memorable. He was a great sport and flexible with our plans. The music was fantastic - I highly recommend him to any gig.

Grant's one of the best. I love his music and he's always a treat to see live (not to mention he's a kind, generous human with a wonderful work ethic!).

Grant is fantastic! I booked him and his accompanist based on the recommendation of a co-worker for my husband's 30th birthday party. I can't believe how much I lucked out with this band. Grant and Andy were friendly and professional. They were beyond accommodating and played and sang BEAUTIFULLY! They played everything from The Beatles to No Doubt and were very sweet about taking requests and learning a couple of songs (including some Sam Cooke and Hey Ya by Outcast!) that I asked them to play as a surprise. Guests were dancing from the first song, and commenting on the great music all night! I can't recommend these guys enough!!

I contracted Grant for a 60th surprise birthday party, the way he organized everything before the even was great, we were on phone calls for days, he made sure he knew all the details. The day of the performance, he did better than spect, he nail it! He knows how to read the crowd. Everyone loved his job, it was an amazing night. Thank you very much Grant!

FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?My standard pricing as a soloist/one-man band for most events is $200/1st hour, $100/each additional hour. Transportation up to 1 hour from NYC, setup, and breakdown are all included free of charge. Pricing for weddings and other formal events where extra consultation and prep is needed have a base rate of $250/hour. Special song arrangements and additional musicians will be billed accordingly.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?Call me! I love talking on the phone with potential clients. I find that's the best and easiest way to talk through all the various things you might be envisioning for your event. No event is too large or too small for a phone call.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?I have been singing professionally around the United States and abroad since I was 6 years old. I have a BA in Music with a focus on Theory/Composition from Fordham University. I have been playing the guitar for about 20 years, and have played various other instruments in that time as well.
